Reupholstery Student Completes Class

Roxanne Johnson, an ambitious and hard working student successfully completes a 5 week beginners reuphostery class. During this class, Roxanne learnt how to reupholster her side chairs. She is the first graduate who completed two chairs during this training. She faithfully traveled over an hour to each class and was always on time and ready to learn. Roxanne already had great sewing skills before the class and this skill helped her a lot as she learned to reupholster her chairs which required sewing in some areas. Roxanne worked on the frame of the chairs alone by sanding and painting them after stripping off the old fabric.

I greatly applaud Roxanne for her continued hard work as she continues to use the skills she learned after graduation and completed dining room chairs as well. She is currently working on a chaise lounge

Custom Furniture Slipcovers

Custom Furniture Slipcovers provide an instant solution to an otherwise not so good looking piece of furniture. Custom Furniture Slipcovers are a less expensive alternative to re-upholstery in most cases. Consider the following tips in order to determine if your furniture is a good candidate for slipcover instead of re-upholstery.

Is the frame and cushions of furniture structurally sound?

Although the fabric may be worn out in some areas, is it still intact?

Would you like an easy change in style for instance adding a skirt where there was none?

Is there a possibility that you may one day want to go back to the original appearance of the furniture?

Are you reluctant to let go of your furniture for the weeks a re-upholstery job will take?

Would you like to receive custom furniture slipcovers that fit well by mail?

Do you already have a slipcover you would like duplicated?

Would you like to have the ease of being able to easily remove the slipcover to have it washed or dry cleaned?

Would you like to have a less expensive alternative to re-upholstery

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then custom furniture slipcovers will be a good choice for your furniture.

Our custom furniture slipcovers come with a separate slipcover for the cushion(s) and fit very well. For our long distance customers, we offer SlipCover By Mail for most furniture styles if you are willing to provide us with some photos and measurements.
